first game...

today was miles' first t-ball game. the whole day including opening ceremonies were threatened by rain. when i told miles this, he started to cry. i asked what he was crying about, he said "i just REALLY want to play my first game." i made him oatmeal for breakfast, and he didn't even take a bite... his reason, "mom, i am just too excited to eat."
we got to the field, lined up and got ready for opening ceremonies. when he ran out on the field, you'd think he just won a day a disneyland. his smile was from ear to ear.  he did an amazing job today, he really focuses on the ball, i think he stopped all the balls that went by him. but more than anything it was a thrill to watch him enjoy every minute of his very first game.
